A couple of observations for the weekend series sweep of the Pads. The starting pitching was obscene. Urias 7.0 IP – 0 runs, Buehler 7.0 IP – 2 runs, Scherzer 8.0 IP – 0 runs. In 22.0 IP the Padres scraped together 10 hits and 3 walks against the three starters. Two shutouts for the weekend. The Padres were never ahead for the entire weekend. Outside of Blake Treinen’s outing on Saturday, the bullpen was superb. An occasional misstep is to be expected.
With 18 games to go, the Dodgers have three starting pitchers with sub 3.00 ERA’s.
